Berlin, Feb. 11
Disaster overtook Germany's largest aeroplane, the "Der Grosse Dessauer," when this Junkers monster got out of control and crashed to earth while testing the effect of a new in vention for giving increased stability and speed by the production of propulsive wing vibration. The pilot and two members of the crew safely made descents by parachute but the engineer, Herr Hannemann, lost his life. The plane was capable of carrying 40 passengers and on its initial flights had developed a speed of nearly 300 m.p.h.—Trans-Ocean.
